Today and tomorrow from 2pm to 10.30pm the beating heart of Bolognina, Fondo Comini (Blood Donor Park), is transformed into a space dedicated to the free arts. From an idea of Alessandro Barbaro and Andrea Aversa, two young musicians, ‘Sbadabam festival’ was born, a festival of buskers music, art, stand up comedy and workshops: a collective event, without frills, born with the desire to be together . There are three locations: the park, where the busker stations that we usually find around the city will be set up, the central stage where the musical groups will perform and the area of the basketball courts where both the yogadanza held by the teacher Maria Incampo, and the drum circle held by the music therapist Marco Bellone.
There is also space for illustrated art. Setting up an area of the Comini Fund will be the 2 meter high papier-mâché sculpture donated by the Gestalt Art cultural association ‘Encantado’, while next to it there will be stands with illustrations by Eleonora Castagna (aka @frullatino_di_mandarino) and Iolanda Parmeggiani, the works of the Checkpoint Charlie collective.
It starts today at 3pm: some of Bologna’s most beloved buskers will perform in the various positions on the stage: Simone Giocoliere, Niko Albano, Tommaso percaso, Pavlo Cartaginese, Martingala and Sergio Sciuto Conti.
At 4pm the DivertTeatro choir will take to the stage. The Marakatimba and S’ambarkamo collectives animate the entire park with their contagious energy and South American dance rhythms. From 6pm the post-rock duo Talir, the punk rock band I tre giuditati, while the folk singer-songwriter Omar Rezzonico closes the first evening.
Tomorrow, appointment from 2pm.
